      PWAs are great. Half the apps in app stores are just packaged browsers, we should take away the need for that bloat…using the engine of your choice would be a bonus. Plus they create the option of skipping app stores entirely, which is another step away from the Google/Apple oligopoly.

      When the options are "install" as a PWA or download a bloated Electron app, I'm going with the PWA. Every time. :shrug: It would just be nice to be able to do that in FF without any kind of 3rd party helpers.

      I’d rather use a PWA that uses my firefox install than use an electron app which bundles chromium. And PWAs are standard, and can work on mobile too…

      I currently install chromium on my systems additionally to Firefox, just to be able to use PWAs. PWAs are supported on Firefox Android anyway so I have no idea why they removed the little amount of support they had a year or so ago.
